‘Joe Biden is not good for India’: Donald Trump’s son

US President Donald Trump’s son said Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is not good for India as he could be soft on China, reported PTI.

He said this at an event to celebrate the “success” of his book that talks about graft allegations against the Bidens.

Donald Trump Jr, 42, who is leading the re-election campaign of his 74-year-old father, said, “No one understand the threat of China probably better than Indian-Americans.” 

The presidential elections in the US are slated to be held on November 3.

The lead campaigner of Trump Jr, in his book ‘Liberal Privilege’, has talked about allegations of corruption against 77-year-old Joe Biden’s family, particularly against his son Hunter Biden.

“When you look at our opponents in this race… you think the Chinese gave Hunter Biden USD 1.5 billion … because he was a great businessman, or because they knew the Bidens could be bought, and therefore soft on China,” he said.

He was referring to the latest allegations of corruption against the Biden family as published by The New York Post.

“Therefore, (Joe Biden is) bad for India,” he said in his address at the meet and greet event along with Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is leading the fund-raising efforts of Trump’s re-election campaign.

The book, signed copies of which were handed out to participants of the event, reflects, according to Trump Jr, on the “corrupt practices” of the Biden family.

Joe Biden has refuted the allegations of corruption against him.

Praising Indian-Americans, Trump Jr said that the community is near and dear to his heart. “I understand the community pretty well,” he said.

The Indian community is hard working, family oriented and education oriented, Trump Jr said.
